309 pages. spine cocked, nice clean copyZach and his sister Annis have been uprooted by their parents from their comf ortable home to a remote and half-built barn in France. Zach is being removed fr om his 'bad-influence' friends, their parents are trying to salvage their marria ge and still remain on speaking terms whilst the bitterness of their father's af fair bubbles underneath the surface. And Annis - Annis just keeps going, keeping her head down, trying to keep it together. So far so normal. And then Zach, unc ommunicative and contrary as ever these days, defies everything their parents ha ve said and makes his way to the unsafe ruined building at the edge of their new garden, and leans up against the wall. The wall bulges, totters - and suddenly collapses on top of him. Annis, horrified, sees him crumpled on the ground. Desp erate, she races towards him, not daring to think anything at all. She sees him, on the ground, broken, silent, not there any more. And then, unbelievably, he m oves. Zach moves. Zach, in an extraordinary and instinctive decision, has broken his bond with his own soul, the essence of himself. By doing so he has cheated death. By doing so he has also cheated life. He is unable to touch any human per son again. And the essence of himself, his 'other', his soul, is chasing, chasin g him, determined to rejoin what should rightfully be together. Zach is on the r un, from himself, whom he can never escape, from death, but also from the life t hat he can never enjoy again. Perhaps only a sister can help him now. An extraor dinary, electric and tautly thrilling new novel from the highly acclaimed debut author of The Traitor Game. …
